Introduction

Over 2 years after the release of Rock Band 2, Harmonix finally released Rock Band 3 to the masses on October 26th, 2010. While most of the old gameplay mechanics are still intact, Harmonix has made several large additions to the gameplay experience while also bringing some of the features introduced in The Beatles: Rock Band and Green Day: Rock Band over to the main platform. Throughout this review we will take a look at the minor changes to the old gameplay experience, as well as the new keyboard controller and pro mode additions to guitar and drums. We will also be highlighting some standout tracks from the game's diverse 83 song setlist for each instrument.
